She was right. She absolutely beat our butts in Capture the Flag. We stood no chance against her team. Yes, her team was weak, but she was an excellent strategist. She got us distracted while other members of her team got the pins from us. Her team won like six times.

After she got changed out of her gym clothes and finally came out of the locker room, I went and talked to her.

"We won every game." she bragged while getting her stuff.

"Yeah yeah." I said.

"I have a question." she sounded serious all of a sudden.

"Yeah?"

"Why did you want me to draw that picture?" she looked at me, confused.

I blushed and regretted it. "I don't know. Maybe I just wanted to see if you could draw it or if it would be too much of a challenge." I lied and partially changed the subject.

"Nothing is too much of a challenge for me." she smirked and got up.

"What about finally letting me win at Capture The Flag?" I started walking backwards so I could still see her.

"Except that." she laughed.

I then bumped into someone and fell. The guy turned around angrily and stared at me. She stood there for a moment laughing at me before she turned around and started walking again.

I quickly got up before the guy could punch me and ran after her, while walking normally this time.

"And that is why you don't do that." she said as we reached her locker. She quickly packed up and went to the detention room. "See you at six then?" she called to me.

"Sure." I yelled back. I was going to head to my locker but a girl ran into me in a hurry to get past me. I was guessing she was heading to detention too because she already had her bookbag and that was the only classroom behind me.

"Sorry!" she said and then hurried back the way Eclipse went.

I went back to my locker and packed up before getting in my truck. I turned on my playlist. 'Linkin' Park: In the End' started playing. I sang along and drove home. I had about another two hours before I had to be to her house and I still needed to go prom shopping. I grabbed my jacket and was about to leave again before I felt a hand on my shoulder and jumped.

I turned around ready to attack only to find that it was Nico. "Oh it's you. Don't sneak up on me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Yeah, yeah." the son of Hades said. As always he was super serious. "Look, there's trouble."

"What do you mean?" I asked, now worried.

He sat down on the couch. "There's a new prophecy."

I sat down too. "What's the prophecy?"

He sighed. "A new one who already knows

But the wrong decision she still chose

In the end she must face her past

Only one of the seven can bring her back

But if she comes not on her own

The earths wrath will be shown

Over time she will change

Unless she acts on the unlucky day."

"What on earth does that mean?" I exclaimed, getting up.

"We don't know yet. Everyone's been stressing about that. Chiron's constantly calling meetings and the only thing we know for sure is that some girl made a bad choice and one of you can fix it." he said as I went to the kitchen.

"Ugh. Why are these prophecies always so confusing?" I yelled, getting water. "Can't they ever just give us a clear message? Like 'Hey! The worlds going to end if you don't do blah blah blah!' Is that really too much to ask?"

I brought him the water. "Thanks. I was thirsty from the shadow-traveling. And I've been asking that same question for years." he took a sip of the water.

"Couldn't you have called?" I asked. "I made monster-proof phones for a reason."

"Yeah. But Chiron wanted me to talk to you directly. We wanted to know if you could help any." he leaned back on the couch.

"Well I don't know if I can help." I said.

"Well it says its a girl in the prophecy. And you were sent here to bring back a girl demigod to camp. Does she already know she's a half-blood?" he questioned, drinking more of the water so the cup was almost empty.

"The truth is, I'm not sure. That's why it's taking so long." I confessed.

"What do you mean, you're not sure? Does she know or not?" he sat up.

"Well she's certainly old enough to know, she's older than the age limit Percy made for the gods to claim their children." I said.

"Okay, anything else?" he needed to know more.

"She's... strange to say in the least." he gave me a weird look. I sighed. "She's very secretive. It feels like she's always hiding something from everyone. There was an earthquake  last week. She told me that she was terrified of earthquakes. Even right as it happened she turned pale and fainted. But after she woke up she was mostly fine. And another weird thing, it happened right after I asked about her birthday, which she is very self-concious about by the way. She's an amazing fighter, she can lift an entire block of concrete over her head. She got into a fight with a guy from our school and I was watching them carefully but even I didn't see how she pushed him to the bleachers all the way across the gym so fast. Even the guy was confused how he had gotten there so suddenly. She has ADHD and anger management problems. She's very competitive. I'm just so confused on if she knows or not, it's taking me a while for getting her to camp."

The whole time I said this, Nico listened carefully, just as confused as I was.

"What about her family?" he asked.

"She's never met her dad, her mom died mysteriously in the military. She has three brothers, two younger, one older." I explained.

"That makes it even more confusing. Do her brothers know?"

"I don't know." I admitted. "If they do, then either she knows too, or they're keeping it from her to keep her safe."

"Tell me more about her."

"She's good with making strategies, she likes helping people, she is tough. She has scars, which she says is from normal accidents, which I think could also be from previous battles. She rides a black Harley, that I had to fix last week." he sighed again as I talked.

"This is so freaking confusing!" he then had an idea. "What if I just met her?"

"How would you meet her though?" I asked.

"Well, do you guys have plans later?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to her house later to study. Maybe you can come with me tomorrow to the movies with her." I said.

"Sure. Why not? What movie?" he asked and I smirked. "What?"

"Oh you'll see."


(A/N) Yay! I was finally able to update! Woopdie-freakin-do-da! This update took me hours and several times of my sister yelling at me to get off my laptop, and I also had to go back and look at previous chapters because I forgot stuff, but it was worth it because I finally finished, and in the process of looking back at the other chapters, I fixed some mistakes! YAY!

Now that it's almost 3pm and I haven't even had breakfast yet, I'm gonna go now.

Goodbye my amazhangs!
